Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Look, I get it. You need a couch and don't have time to get to a legitimate furniture store. I UNDERSTAND. I REALLY DO. I was in the same boat. I needed a small, good-looking couch at a good price, preferably with an ottoman. Here's where the story takes a sharp left into Sadtown, U.S.A. This couch effing sucks. It's cheaply made, and no matter how much i fluff the back cushions, they look like a titan took a monster-sized poo in my living room. I read other reviews saying that the seat cushions soften in time. I waited until i'd had the couch for a month before writing this review and I'm here to lay some truth on you -- the cushions WILL get soft. In certain places. And then you can feel the springs inside the cushions. Hard springs. Poking your taint and/or ladybits. It's so uncomfortable that I'm already looking into replacing the cushion innards with memory foam or something. The material covering the cushions is not horrible. But if those springs break through, its gonna be a problem. Also, while the "chaise" part of the couch is reversible (you can put it on the left or the right) it's NOT ACTUALLY CONNECTED to the other part of the couch. So it slides around like a sweaty greased-up hipster on molly at a Deadmau5 show. It is also ROCK HARD and NOT COMFORTABLE. On the plus side, it was pretty easy to assemble, my brother put it together in about half an hour with minimal assistance from his supervisor (me). Basically you screw on the feet (hollow plastic cups) and the arms and back of the couch (from the feel of it, pleather-coated concrete), throw on the cushions and VOILA, your own rock-hard Flintstones couch, complete with 2 (FREE!!)butt-ugly animal print pillows. These pillows are so ugly, that if i were an animal with that dingy pattern, i'd off myself just to be turned into pillows. However, the Pillows are soft. but so ugly that i had to buy new pillows anyway. The Ottoman, in case you were wondering, is actually pretty comfy -- it doesn't get a ton of use, it's mostly used as an extender for the chaise (which is kinda short, but it doesn't matter, a slab of uneven concrete is going to be uncomfortable no regardless of length). Also, the ottoman is not built in such a way that it can be hollowed out and used as a storage ottoman -- the base is too short and the cushion is too thick. I'm going to end up spending as much money replacing the cushions on this couch as the original couch cost itself. I do like the look of it, and with the new pillows I got it looks really nice in my living room (excpet for the mushed up back cushions), but i might as well have gotten some lawn chairs and waited until i could make time for a legit furniture store. When I die, this couch purchase will be on my list of Regrets.
